Updated my B. smithis enclosure to use the full size of the 30cmx 30cm. Up till now it was devided to be about 15cm x 30cm. She does not like it yeat since obviously the substrate is a bit moist still. So shes up on the wall in the top right. Hope she settles in in a day or so. First time putting a live plant in the with her so will see how that works out too. Sorry the lighting as not great in the photo.

I recently moved my A. versicolor into her adult enclosure. I think it turned out pretty nice. The plants I got from Michaels for a total of around $2.50 and everything else (except for the exo terra of course) I either had laying around or scrounged from the woods. She loves to explore the whole thing but always ends up back in that cork hammock I fashioned for her and is committed to streaking the whole front door with poop :sarcasm:

I hate exo terras because they have so much black surfaces :)
I completely agree! I dream of having a display wall in our living room with 13 COMPLETELY clear tanks of various shapes and sizes...surrounded by plants and beautiful lighting. I just need to finish the living room remodel first! :/

On a side note - does it bother anyone else when you see a perfectly natural-looking enclosure...with a lid of some sort for a water dish??? I so want to send these people stone dishes!!! Is there a reason people seem to prefer the lid vs stone...something I'm missing?

Yes some people have a lot of Ts, and that's not practical. Also some T homes are great but a tiny natural looking "stone" dish be it resin or stone really doesn't exist. I find more small lids or pill containers etc that are deeper - thus hold more water- than I do natural looking bowls that hold the same amount of water. Most small pet bowls for exotics tend to be very shallow

And cost, pet bowls aren't cheap compared to lids etc

That and maybe the lids are lighter.....I know Ill be using a lid so I can pick it up with tweezers.....instead of trying to manipulate a stone/ceramic dish with tweezers ; )

I hadn't thought of the weight factor...I guess it has never come up since both of my spideys have been friendly enough that I never had to worry about reaching my hand in! But I'm glad I asked because I plan to up the ante in the fairly near future and I likely will need to be using tweezers! Thanks!

Yes wild animals that tolerate human intrusion into their homes make things MUCH easier :D

Upping the ante hmm what are you going to get?

If only I knew the answer to that question! I will likely try to find a show or expo (with iPad in tow for research!) and see what strikes my fancy...I really don't trust mail order. It would be nice if there were some sort of scale or guideline to follow with increasing difficulty until I have all 13 I dream of...including at least 1 nasty, ornery, S.O.B...I think I'll hide my diamond jewelry in his enclosure! ;)
